Oct 16, 2019 · Greenhouse gases may get more attention, but aerosols — from car exhaust to volcanic eruptions — also have a major impact on the Earth’s climate. Using a massive NASA dataset, Yale researchers have created a framework that helps explain just how sensitive local temperatures are to aerosols.
Nov 9, 2023 · The results suggest that the future aerosol reductions significantly contribute to climate warming and increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weathers toward carbon neutrality and...
Both particle growth and the mixing of different particle types influence the climate effect of aerosols. How are aerosols distributed globally? Aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieved by...
Nov 24, 2013 · Aerosols (that is, atmospheric particles, not propellants used in spray cans) have masked some of the warming that is caused by increasing greenhouse gases. Without the masking effect of...
